Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 3.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Beaumont instead of crossing town between them. Beaumont Children's Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Central Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to families, families with kids, and parents who want a planned Beaumont outing without improvising between stops.
